| We haven't received many other complaints, but obviously don't know what values other books used for their calculations.

| I also struggle with this problem. I have my favourite recipes from my diet books. However, my book says the calorie and fat content per serving is one number but when I enter it in spark recipes, even allowing for the fact that it contains 3 or 4 portions, the calorie and fat content never come out the same. The last dish I entered came out with a difference of 6 grams of fat and around 60 calories.

You did enter 8 servings, but in the recipe you have:
- 8 full chicken breasts
- 8 cans of chicken broth
- 8 cans of corn
- 16 breadsticks
etc
I think you may have entered too high of quantities in your ingredients.

I created this recipe:
http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=54158
And when I'm in the 'edit' screen and look at the calories per serving, it breaks it down correctly. But when I look at it in the normal view, it shows a hugely inflated number. I double checked & I entered the number of servings correctly, so I'm not sure why it isn't dividing it appropriately when I try to view it or add it to my food tracker.
Any ideas?
